Reborn- His Scarlett Moon

As Ryan and Tristan stood in front of the All Alpha council, I couldn’t help feeling like we were being labeled as some partners in crime.

All the eyes were over us, looking, curious, confused and maybe some were judging.

It had been more than ten or twenty minutes since we cleared what had happened and what all we had witnessed but after hearing all our story, none of them spoke.

” Ahem… So what will be our next move? ”

I had to clear my throat and turn towards my father who was sitting there, equally mute.

” What is the status with the messengers we sent North? ”

Finally one of the Alphas asked.

” The messengers haven’t returned. They sent us news through the owl and the hawk that they were in no way involved with what was going on. ”

My father cleared the stand of the Northern leader on the situation.

” In that case we need to send one amongst us who is strong and get our message across to the Northern chief, louder! ”

Another Alpha stood up, clapping his hands over thigh.

Another round of discussion, arguing and all that went on. It was funny how the leaders of such a formidable species took so much time to come to one harmonious decision.

Finally it was decided that not one but two Alphas will be going to pay the Northern chief a visit. They will not only give them a stern warning but also inspect the Northern lands to understand how the Grey Wolves modified themselves like hounds and also reached such gigantic size.

And with popular vote, Tristan and Ryan were chosen as the candidates.

And I was definitely not the only person worried in that gathering about what the two of them would do when they will be left to travel such a long distance by themselves. They even had problems standing beside each other properly, without glaring or side eyeing one another.

” I have a proposition. ”

It was my father who raised his hand.

” I want to send my daughter Sherizad , along with them. She is an expert rider and a skilled warrior, much to my dislike. But she is probably the only woman around who would survive in these times. Tristan was badly injured, he might need her aid. ”

Aish! The cringe my father could spit out of his mouth. I didn’t fail to understand that it was his way of getting me close to Tristan. But I wasn’t letting him win.

” Yes of course and Ryan was injured as well… ”

I chirped in , basically to annoy him and was successful at my mission. He glared at me from his place.

” Ah! No! It’s nothing. Just a scratch and I have fully recovered! ”

He desperately bared his shoulder to show everyone that he was not vulnerable.

That male ego. Ahhh!

How could Tristan stay back? He stripped down as well and had to show that his wounds were almost healed as well, as the whole room gaped.

” Enough, the two of you. Put your clothes back on. Sherizad is going to accompany both of you and that’s decided. ”

My father’s yell made them quickly pull back their garments and cover whatever skin was exposed.

The meeting was adjourned and everyone slowly departed.

” Alpha Ryan and Alpha Tristan, please follow me. I need to show you something before you depart. ”

I was silently trying to slide away to go check on the dumb boy wolf but my father noticed that I was sneaking out.

” You too. Follow us. ”

He yelled and so I had to walk after them.

My father led us towards the back of our tent. Ryan, Tristan, and I followed him, unsure of what was going to happen. They both looked at me behind his back for answers but I had to shrug my shoulders in response.

As we reached the back of the tent, my father turned to us and spoke in a hushed tone. “I fear that dark magic is behind all the recent incidents,” he said. “I want you three to be prepared in case you face it. I could not say something like this without proper evidence in front of the council but know that I have my proof. Don’t take this lightly. ”

He pulled some chests and opened a few hidden compartments. He pulled some things out from there.

He handed each of us a unique weapon. My hands steady as I examined mine. It was a curved blade, its hilt wrapped in leather. “This is a crescent blade,” my father explained. “It’s been enchanted with silver, so it’s especially effective against creatures of the night.” He said, pressing it onto me.

Tristan held up his weapon, a long, straight sword with a pointed tip. “What’s this?” he asked.

“That’s a sun sword,” my father replied. “It’s been imbued with the power of the sun, so it’s especially effective against darkness. Any form of it. ”

Ryan’s weapon was the most unique of all. It was a staff, with a crystal orb at the top. “This is a moon staff,” my father explained. “It channels the power of the moon, which can be used for both defense and healing.”This was probably the weakest of the three for my father to give it to him.

I was amazed by the power and beauty of each weapon. “Thank you, Father,” I say, looking up at him.” I never knew you had such treasures. ”

He nodded patting my back. “Use them well, and they will serve you well.”

As we turned to leave, Ryan spoke up. “Alpha, what if we face something that’s not affected by the sun, moon, or silver?”

My father’s expression grew serious. “Then you’ll need to rely on your instincts and your own strength. But I have faith that you three will be able to handle whatever comes your way, forgetting your difference.”Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

I gripped my crescent blade tightly, ready to face whatever dangers were to come.
